You can always count on some good comfort food here. They're always open and you can get breakfast anytime. Ottawa's best hangover spot! But seriously their food is good and filling. Well-priced too. And the service is always good. Try their famous poutine. The vegetarian soup is delicious too.

Are here while visiting the Canadian Museum of Nature. It is right around the corner so we were able to keep our parking space at the museum. We had blueberry pancakes, roast beef sandwich and our 6 year old had eggs and bacon from the kids menu. There was a 10 minute wait for a table but it was noon...

Working overnight shifts can pose a significant problem in Ottawa when the bulk of places that are still open after 1:00 are pizza joints. My colleagues and I started to Google what was still open at 1:30 am..... pizza joint, pizza place, pizza, pizza, pizza.....and the later the night wore on, the less the opportunity that these pizza places actually...

Have eaten here a number of times. Each time, I forget that the "fresh" food salad, priced at $5.99, is always fermented except for a few chunks that come straight out of a can. Other than that, the place is fine. Service is friendly and the eggs are served exactly as I want them.

Well.... He wasn't kidding about the size of the plates. I had the Buffalo Chicken Salad and my wife had the Mexican Salad. Both were heaping...

Classic diner feeling and food. We stopped in for breakfast on a beautiful warm sunny day in November. We were looking for a hearty breakfast and this was the perfect place. From the friendly welcome upon entering, to immediate cups of unending coffee, and delicious homemade diner fare, I loved this place. Dave, our server, was efficient and helpful, at...

Made our way to the diner at 1:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon and was seated right away for three of us. There were only a few tables available, they were busy.
Waiter was friendly and prompt.
We ordered the breakfast poutine, OMG Benedict (my favorite) and a kids breakfast meal. So tasty! Not going to lie I had a...
